interesting about chappaquiddick is ted kennedy, whether you love him or you hate him, i mean i'm an irish catholic so i'm predisposed to love the kennedys, but ted kennedy, this horrible event, and this coverup, you know like the quintessential white guy entitlement rich people get away with murder thing, but you sit there and you look at the span of his career, and you go, maybe there should be some redemption for people. if chappaquiddick happened today, ted kennedy would be in jail, but it's not as if he didn't do some good. - but it had a low ceiling, because he could only do so much good because of this thing that was sitting there in his past, you talk about the coverup. so your character-- - yeah, paul markham. - in this movie is paul markham. paul markham was the us attorney in massachusetts. he is a kennedy friend. - yeah, a kennedy friend. i mean there's the real history, and then there's what we tried to characterize in the movie. and paul markham, the character i was portraying, was very much an instrument to show how alluring being part of the kennedy clan was. and so in the movie, pa
